Downtown needs per-door housing incentives, report authors argue

The authors of the new Downtown Investment Plan told the co-hosts of Episode 281 of Speaking Municipally that public investment is necessary to stimulate Edmonton's struggling downtown core, even though the requests are expensive and ambitious.

Its not that it is so difficult or expensive to live downtown. You can even still buy a older condo with a view in a decent for $200,000 or less, which is way less than any other major city in Canada.

The problem is people are not that attracted to live downtown, so an even lower price will not help much. Why are they not attracted - again the same problems we have talked about for the last several years: safety and perceptions around that, lack of retail and other amenities and lack of nearby jobs. A housing incentive will fix none of these problems and until they are fixed downtown will be a difficult sell to many.
